    :Twow well done!!
    Aah, the wee man'll be all right :) And I've got a new job! I'm starting next Tuesday and have to commute, so I guess I just have to buy that little sports car I've always wanted...

    Ooo, sorry but I'm so excited I just have to tell someone!

    I've got an interview for the job of my dreams next week, which is based in central London. I'm heading up there and taking a look at rooms to let in the area, to live in during the working week. I'll just have to let the currently vacant room out to be able to afford it. So, fingers crossed, in a few weeks I'll both have lodgers and be a lodger! :grin:

    In other news, I appear to have a stalker. If it's you, confess now!

    What do you mean you appear to have a stalker?

    Many, many congrats about getting interviewed for the job of your dreams! Please keep us posted, won't you? Btw our mutual friend Mr Chest Rockwell is here in London on a course this week, Been out twice with him and had a few plus I've been hearing about his house renovations but he's showing no signs of wanting a lodger yet, the fool.

    He is indeed a fool :)

    Well I had a text message on Saturday night from a number I've never come across saying, "I hope you know you've got a secret admirer...". I've racked my brains and can't think of anyone it could be... Then last night I had another text from a number saying, "Hi Rionna, thanks for the coffee today. I'm not sure whether I've copied your number down correctly? x"

    The second one *could* be an innocent mistake but just seems a bit contrived to me. I haven't replied to either one!

    When things go wrong it is "c0ck-up or conspiracy" - usually c0ck-up especially with strange mobile phone messages.

    There were two of us (male) working late one night - the curse of IT.

    My colleagues mobile interrupted the boredom with a mobile phone message.
    It was obviously from one girlfriend to another girlfriend seeking to know if she has "scored" with a new date.

    "What should I do with this?"
    "Reply to it - put her out of her misery"

    So we composed a suitable coy non committal reply asking for advice on what we should do next with this developing relationship.

    There followed about three increasingly frustrated interchanges - until our correspondent must have "smelled a rat".

    Probably safest to ignore your new admirer but you (and/or we) could have some fun with it.

    Hi!

    Not yet I'm afraid... I've had to go back and forth a few times for interviews and am still waiting for the next move... so so tired!
